dread Member	Posted At the least he should be older than Dream or at the least, very, very close in age. It is known that Destruction is a manifestation of change, and I'm sure that a living thing could change even slightly even before it becomes first self aware of itself.

VegaRiad Firekeeper's Sister Member	Posted Hide Post Well, he is, isn't he? He's actually slightly older than Death, and Death is older than Dream. -Natalie ----*-*-*-*---- Not really human, just turns into one on the full moon. I've totally got deviantARTs.

dread Member	Posted Hide Post Really? Last I have heard, that the order went from Destiny, Death, Dream then Destruction.

Primate Member	Posted Hide Post dread has the order right. Consider that the thought that something can be changed must come before the change can be done. Dream would be the thought, and Destruction would be the action. ============== Phantast - Artist Wanted

You have a good point, but I think that change is an element of Death, who comes before Dream, so she has it covered. It actually makes sense that Destruction follows Dream because Dream could be looked at as the creative impulse of humankind and then it's opposite, the destructive impulse, would follow, for balance ( at least in the way things in the Sandman universe are balanced).
